We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

She has never accomplished anything in life. She has held positions, but that's not the same thing as accomplishment. That is resume-building.

She got into Yale Law (gee, a real ordeal) and met Bill there. She got a job with the Watergate Commission, but got fired for being dishonest. She failed the bar exam in DC. Smartest woman in the world. She went to Arkansas with Bill, passed the Ark. bar, got jobs through Bill's political connections and made money via shady deals. When Bill was Pres, she screwed up everything she touched but managed to parlay her Bill connection to a NY Senator gig (being from Illinois and Arkansas but going where the $s are). She got to be a marquee-name Senator but did little there. She had some books ghost-written. Then she got Sec of State as a booby prize for losing to but endorsing Obama, and screwed up all of their major decisions there (Russia, Libya, Syria, Iran, Egypt). In the meantime, she devoted herself to making a magnificent fortune, because she and Bill love money and hobnobbing with the rich. On top of it all, she and Bill have a farcical marriage. They do not live together. Theirs is a political (and financial) alliance because he owes her.

To you Feminists, what would she be doing in life without Bill? Or without an adoring press (for being a Lefty female)? Surely she wonders that too. Famous for being famous.

This is not an ad for Trump, just putting things in perspective. If you are a Lefty, you will hold your nose and vote for her regardless. Obama had zero accomplishments too but he had some charm and youth.

Just for fun, to whom did Bill confess, a few years ago, that "Hillary gets more pussy than I do"? A trivia quiz. BTW, I do not care whether HRC is gay. Lots of people say Obama used to be gay in his Chicago days hence his "Bathhouse Barry" nickname. But so what? It's been a good gig for Mrs. O.

RE: "She has never accomplished anything in life."
I agree -- except:
1. As you correctly state, they have raked-in a huge fortune, mostly through graft.
2. The Clintons have put together this gigantic slush fund that spends about the same amount on travel as it does for charity. It's a gigantic entity that provides patronage jobs for friends and allies. This is unique in American politics. It's corrupt and disgusting. It's graft being carried out in plain sight. And it's a big success; the Clinton crime family is getting away with it. (It wil be copied.)
3. The Clintons have barely escaped the Law, but for all their incompetence and corruption, they have managed to avoid serving any time in prison. They are, quite literally, too big to jail.
4. The only way to prop up the Clintons is to debase American politics, institutions, and Rule of Law. But they have done just that.

Now, you are also correct the Sec. Hillary Clinton wouldn't be anything without President Bill Clinton. But they are a team, and she has contributed to their criminal enterprise.

Whatever her accomplishments (and I agree without Bill, there's a paucity), if she were to serve as President that would be a violation of at least the spirit of the 22nd amendment, if not the letter of the law.

I don't get the admiration for a WONK or anyone that reads and regurgitates white papers, as opposed to someone who has had real world, in the trenches experience and knowledge. I'll take an accomplished "doer" over a WONK any day. Has she had a creative or even fresh insightful idea, ever? I just hear the same ole recycled, rehashed useless pontificating from the 60s.

She has no real accomplishments and the things she worked on were disasters (health care w/Bill, Russian reset, Iran nuke deal, Egypt, Libya...), she's not smart enough to recognize classified information if it isn't marked, she gave access to classified information to people without clearance and because her server wasn't secure, our enemies likely got access to it, and she lies about everything even if she doesn't need to, but what has Democrats concerned that they may have to replace her on the ticket is that she is supposed to have pneumonia!

And yet, none of that matters. Mitt Romney was wrong when he spoke of the 47% that it was no use even trying to persuade to vote Republican - it's at least 51%. When the Dems got a President as flawed as Obama re-elected in 2012, they knew it no longer mattered. As terrible a candidate as Hillary is, the Dems don't need a candidate. The election is a foregone conclusion, a mere formality. Why bother running somebody who can appeal to moderates and independents and cross-over voters? They don't need the votes, they've got enough of the knee-jerk gimme-gimme-gimme vote that any Democrat is an automatic win.

The only flaw in their plan is that the Republicans are running a Democrat, too.
